That would be the separation of the lower and upper links. The axle is trying to wrap but the triangulation from the upper and lowers will prevent that. Typically the rule of them is have the distance for axle side mount upper and lower to be 25% of your tire diameter.
@alpinefab I am living in the Philippines. I purchased a 1943 Willys jeep that has been converted to 4 link suspension (front and rear). The transfer case, and both front and rear axles are from a Samurai.
Wow! Congratufuggiations man! That's gotta feel good eh.
The thing is going to be a fuggin beast!
Thanks man! Can’t wait to see it on some tires
Here we go!!!
Brasil assistindo!!! Ótima adaptação amigo!!!!!
Awesome explanation! Could you give me the specs of the Heim joints and which tube thickness are you using, please? thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Yes of course. I’m running 7/8” Heim joints with 2” 0.25” DOM tube lowers and 1.75” 0.120 DOM uppers
Nice work man.
What diffs did you use.
I'm doing a similar build at the moment with gq nissan patrol diffs.
Thanks! I am using Toyota mini truck axle assemblies.
That sounds cool! You are throwing the patrol axles under your samurai?
On this type setup, what keeps the nose of the differential from pointing up and down while accelerating?

@alpinefab I am going to try and upload a video clip of what is happening with my 4 link jeep I recently purchased

what drive shaft are you using for the rear?
The rear is going to have a custom length Toyota CV/Double Cardan
